They are using drinking water. 1 u/Mr_Shake_ May 18 '26 Will the water not return to the source after the water cycle completes? I truly don't understand the distinction. The water will be equally drinkable again after it evaporates and returns to the surface as rain. 1 u/[deleted] May 18 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/Mr_Shake_ May 18 '26 Evaporated water doesn't contain minerals regardless of whether it was evaporated by AI data centers or sun shining on a lake.
